Eternal September is upon us and Halloween is around the corner. Its time to whip those PFY into shape.
In this class we’ll learn how to make the Cat5 o 9 Tails. Perfect for those lonely nights in the server room or just as a gift for your favorite system administrator.

@StanSimmons got one reserved just for you and another for @Team_Infrastructure
Bonus if you use color coded cables and can actually be used to bridge connections

I built one of those when I worked for T-Mobile WiFi. It may even still be hanging in the Frisco server room.

Stranded wire would be much more flexible.

Ugh, when did copper clad aluminum weasel it’s way into cat 5 cable?
Yeah, patch cables should be stranded cat 5, not solid, which really should be permanent installs, and not CCA. Thoug maybe the torture of finding the intermittent fault is part of the gift that keeps on giving here.
